Dam, its been awhile since i scribbed my last lines
for i shut poetry away
i turned my back on her
never to let her back in my life
because the man i feel in love with
his words flowing like the nile
had me captured in his charm
he wined and dined me everytime he got a chance
at his shows he would give me a shot out as his queen to be
when all the time he told me he loved me
turned out to be a mere infactuation
how i know, well, he started stalking me
see im a full time student and all he does is write poetry do shows and sits at home we live 85 miles from each other
and somehow he knew my every move
he knew where i would be before i got there
he even managed to haunt me in my sleep
had me scared to leave my room
cause i didnt know what he would do to me
he made me hate poetry
cause his words were a lie
he crushed my soul from expressing
the ways i felt inside
he mad me shut her out
and i thought that it would be for good
it was like poetry stalked my life
and i felt that all male poets were no good
his CD came out today and
i had to go buy it im on the inside cover
with the word "BEAUTY" on the side
he told beauty was in the eyes of the beholder
and he knew what he had did
just when poetry was out of my life
and then looking back
i realized i cant but the blame on her
for one mans mistakes.
so from this i have learned that
beautiful is she who can
heal a million people with her words
and poetry is me.

Wow, icandi, I like the way you brought this situation to a positive conclusion, which is good for us, because we get to read you. If this indeed about you, this must have been a frightening experience, and you described this to the reader very well.

appreciate you sharing your experience and revelations - glad you realize that tools like poetry can be used for good or evil - depending on the person - it's all what we do with it - I'm also glad you learned a lesson about the illusion of evil - it will always hide in a mask of something that appeals to you - often even in the mask of spirituality - but now you know the warning signs of illusion so you can avoid it in the future - just don't let it taint your heart - a True King will earn you through his ACTIONS, never his Words
